About Us

Monday, January 8, 2018

Team Diabetes has gotten a sterling reputation over the years for raising money for the American Diabetes Association and donating everything they raise. But there was an incident recently that appears like someone was taking advantage of the organization's good name and the generosity of it's donators.

On December 31, there was an announcement by John Brianna (johannes1977 Resident) on the Team Diabetes blog that on the day before, "the owners of the Land of the Rings Breedables Auction spammed our group (of) their event and stated that their raffle was in support of Team Diabetes of Second Life." The people in question would say they had raised over 100,000 Lindens, but Team Diabetes had yet to see any of it, "we strongly encourage you to inquire where your donations went."

I contacted Team Diabetes about the matter, and was answered by Vee Tammas Shocker (Veruca Tammas). She told me most of what she knew was explained in the blog post. She did go on to say she tried contacting the owner of Land of the Rings Breedables, ϮŁσrίŁуηη ŞŧαrşíđєrϮ (LoriLynnGrimes Resident), "but she muted and blocked me." Before that, she had been told to talk to Oenneo Resident, the co-owner, but "I haven't gotten one response at all." She told me that there was a breedables group that was raising funds for Team Diabetes, but it was a different one: OYO Breedables. Vee described them as, "the OYO Breedable people who have been lovely and nothing but open, honest and aboveboard."

"I tell you Bix it's all fishy to me, this other group," Vee told me, " ... it was wrong to advertise it as a Team Diabetes event. I feel horrible for the people who attended and, if as they claim, gave 100,100 lindens, cause they thought it went to Team Diabetes." She added, "Lori sent a screaming note to John saying they didn't know where to get kiosks and then stated blaming OYO Breedables etc. who had nothing to do with them. ... about the notice on our website, how dare we, etc." She clarified by "screaming" she meant the note was entirely in capital letters, "come on, we have an office at NonProfit Commons and anyone can get a kiosk. .. They could have even gone to our office and dumped the money in that kiosk there."

Oenneo Residen't display name is "ϮƝЄƠ ƬӇЄ0ƝЄ ԼƖƠƝӇЄƛƦƬ ƓƛԼƛҲƳϮ", and in his profile (in all caps), he describes himself as an "untamable, unchangeable, unforgetable, dark, mysterious, enterpeneur extrordinare," and besides being co-owner of Land of the Rings Breedables, he owns another line, Galaxy Breedables. I sent him a message asking him about the Land of the Rings Breedables Auction. There was no reply.

In the meantime, Team Diabetes has changed it's kiosks to off-season ones, so even though the holiday events are done, people can still donate to them. For more information on the group, check out their website at: https://teamdiabetessl.org/ .

Another Rings fanboy or fangirl, keep em coming! If they are so loving, why havent they produced receipts or told anyone which charity they donated the purported 100,000 lindens they claim to have raised??

Opinions like yours are like Assholes and generally full of shit. This article if funny really funny and if people buy your words of bullshit wisdom then they believe Hilary Clinton is not a criminal. Those people you are trashing are the most honestly loving folks in sl. Cato from oyo made it a personal fight when they questioned oyo standards and used these people as pawns in his head games. OYO took the kiosks 2 days before that benefit (cato) and John was to busy to get back to those owners to even be involved. Lori announced before the raffle that due to not being apart of oyo any longers they would make sure Diabetes got the money not once claiming to go to team diabetes scammers. If team wanted to be on board they could have been more nicer and kind to the owners not jump on the oyo cult train. (cato) is using idiots like you for a personal vendetta.

if you are referring to John being from Germany, WRONG. He is an American and a US Marine, get your facts straight.

The bottom line is this, those of you from Land of the Rings, simply produce your receipts of where your money went. Even if it did not go to Team Diabetes, show us where your donations went, instead of ranting, raving, and cursing out people.

And stop the Trumpian tactics of inflicting Hilary Clinton into this argument, last time I checked she had nothing to do with the fact that Land of the Rings still has not produced evidence of where their donated lindens went.

[2018/01/01 14:24] Cato Oh: Well .. John is leader of Team Diabetes of SL. He is an american marine stationed in Germany. If that is what you mean by overseas[2018/01/01 14:24] ϮŁσrίŁуηη ŞŧαrşíđєrϮ (lorilynngrimes): Well anyways we are no longer associated with oYo so good luck to you. And Cato you are really going to need it .

Cato told me John was in Germany as well. Also why these people bitching on New Years Eve the couple was offline enjoying the holiday are they seriously that impatient to get their grubby paws on cash. Red flag once again.

SO which is it did LoriLynn and Neo try to get ahold of these scammers or do we believe the scammers crying like fucking babies trying to trash a image of two really amazing people? Inquiring minds want to know. DO your homework reporter dig get the truth . It seems like many for Team Lori/Neo then Team Cato Puppets

1. Land of the Rings has a fundraiser2. They have not posted which charity the money from the fundraiser went to or posted any receipts3. They spammed the Team Diabetes group, leading people to think it was a fundraiser for Team Diabetes

As far as I am concerned, you Land of the Rings fanboys and fangirls can shut it until Land of the Rings does the following:

1. Name the charity where the donated lindens went to2. Post proof that the lindens actually went to charity

Until then, the name calling, lies, and this dribble is all bs until they do this

Sorry fanboys and fangirls, if it behaves like a scam and acts like a scam, then it is and in this case, Land of the Rings scammed people out of hundred of thousands of lindens, which they have kept for themselves, until prove otherwise

once again cato i want proof and journals of all the kiosks you had at many auction houses in your name and see the proof every single dime was turned over. provide proof maggot scum. Vee your organization made much more then it claims to have turned in so release all journals and provide your proof. I question where all my donation money has gone for months. I question Vee and Cato and they must provide actual transcripts at this point. Why did Cato have Kiosks in his name and why did 3rd party transactions occur one again Cato stop avoiding your under microscope as well i urge no one to give to any more sl charities do it personally online never believe sl people that try to ruin others making themselves look like angels. There is no angels here trust me.

i am afraid to come forward Cato has threatened all the staff to not go near Lori. i like Lori i do not believe Cato lies or Vee. Lori is not a selfish girl very loving giving soul. i am team lori/neo to the end of time. team cato needs to be exposed. i am staff at oyo we told john is in germany as well

stacey and mitt attis we both saw the email confirmation the american diabetes association was given money only one bitching causing hardship on this issue is cato. do not be a tool stooge of cato and expose that bad man for hurting good people. cato i think you need to provide a whole journal of all the donation money you been receiving for years 3rd party. let us now have full transparancy cato i donated several times on your sim in kiosks with your name on it i wasnt prooff all those thousands went to where it needed to go i see you buying way to many items on a policemans salary. you are a scammer in inworldz and sl both the same sadly oyo has you under their belt cato is the worst form of human waste in sl and slimey slippery as they come me and mitt are team lori-neo least lori has a soul unlike cato who rips the soul out of anyone using intimidation and cult like behaviors

So why can they not post the receipts and confirmation here and elsewhere, then these stories will go away. If Land of the Rings hates oYo so much, why does their in world group still have it in the description, along with their parcel description in world?

Cato let us really tell the whole story shall we. ON December 23rd I gave Tibbis an ex employee of Land of the Rings 6 donations valuing over 50k lindens. Lori informed Cato but Cato protected Tibbis after Lori fired him for theft and also sexually coming on to Gracie daughter of Painted Nations - Desy. His behavior was so bad Lori and Neo got rid of Tibbis. The fight which severed ties between LOTR and oYo is over Tibbis who Cato got a job for him at ZanyRobs new place Virtual Mangerie. Loir was outraged Cato did not pull his oyo certified auctioneer privilages. Cato 6 months prior pulled Lori's for saying his gf was a Queen of oyo, so being fair Tibbis stealing and also sexually coming on to a toddler avi should have done the trick to expell Tibbis. Nooooooo Cato protects Tibbis Fireclaw switching the peoples thoughts on to Lori who did right thing got rid of a bad boy. So Cato what is truly going on here? Where is my donaations Tibbis took that mysteriously disappeared? The Cato decided to mess with Lori more and scheduled his raffle 24 hrs noticed the same time and date LOTR had scheduled theirs for weeks. So tell me Cato was it nice to trash out an event. Seems half these posters are oyo trolls. I still want my items back from Tibbis Fireclaw whom somehow we for get began this whole mess. Lori and Neo did right stood up to a corporate monster. The monster does not like it plain simple fact. Tibbis where are the bundles? Cato and Virtual Mangerie way to connected how much has cato truly invested in Virtual Mengerie? Ask the right question people and are we truly allowing Cato who is a (Hilter wanna be) to seriously slander people without just cause? Tibbis answer why did Lori fire you? Painted Nations why did you complaint o Cato about Tibbis sexualy coming on to your 3 yr old daughter??? Let us really dig before saying much more there is always a back story upon a story. If this reporter was true blue then I would love to see it done right. ZanyRob. Cato and Tibbis return the bundles that disappeared. Tibbis Fireclaw been auctioning off people's donations. The 72 panels LOTR put up were 75% percent provided by LOTR staff. Cato knowingly scheduled event to screw over Lori for standing up to him. Her punishment for being a decent person is the nightmare of this stalking insane man who obviously has many to do his dirty work. Scary thought the reporter allowed this cyber bullying to begin with. I saw the donation receipts I am fully happy the money got to diabetes the way Lori handled it was mature and timely fashion. I did not get my items returned from Tibbis Fireclaw or Cato the true thief's of a charity. My rl name Margret McNeil got questions then ask I do not hide behind anonymous posters like Cato does. Cato stop attacking Neo and Lori it is really upsetting a community. We want to know why Tibbis Fireclaw is allowed to be apart of oyo to prey on us more. team lori/neo we got your backs what a beautiful couple.

Bixyl Shuftan shitty reporting very much cyber attacking. Where did missing bundles go from Tibbis Fireclaw possession? Why is Cato bantering like a fool about one little girl? Do you feel used yet Bixyl Shuftan? Looks to me like you are being used for Cato to not have to answer why Tibbis is even connected still with oyo coming on to a 3 yr old avatar , stealing bundles, asking Britt owner of Wizardly Falls Auctions if she into pony play. Seems like Tibbis crude and repulsive behavior is being protected by Cato and Zanyrob. One little girl a sweet girl at that being jumped upon by filthy male scumbags of sl. So Bixyl Shuftan I want to know how you are going to make this true and right or do we assume you a part of cyber lying attacks as well and your credibility is in question as well? Get the whole dirty story from the beginning or simply stfu with your lackof reporting skills. Cato surely the only one bitching about LOTR not one soul has other then him deflecting the true issues of why he covers for Tibbis Fireclaw and Zanyrob. team lotr all the way here Bixyl Shuftan do a better job next time

And throughout all of this non related gossipy heresay we are back to square #1: 1 No mention of the charity that Lord of the Rings claimed to have donated 100,000K lindens to and #2: No receipt at all to back up their claims that they donated 100,000K.

Stop sidetracking the convo and produce proof that you did not make off with 100,000 Lindens of people's donated money.

makes me want to never give to a sl charity again way these people all acting. so charitable their actions over a holiday week if i see team diabetes anywhere in future i will walk the other way never giving them my lindens Team Lori/Neo thanks for waking the ignorant ones being played by these folks

why would oYo allow Cato to be their spokes person stupid logical move shows the lack of intelligence of the creators having this man bash breeders running off good money. Not a good sales pitch for them at all.

The Blogger is probably some disturbing 35 + year old living in his mother's basement with entitlement issues. How serious are we even taking this news story? Seems non credible and poorly written. Cato we know you are the troll spewing the most same words you been telling your whole cult to say. Cato I urge you to take medication and Vee get the mental help you need. Reporter get a life stop the high school events going on here. If this was paper newspaper it would not even be worthy to wipe my ass after a long hot turd. teams neo-lori good luck to you both

I will say this, I know Lori personally, and they way she talks to folks, i don't doubt 1 bit that she screamed at folks (caps) and then block/muted them. but i agree with someone few comments up...Show Proof, All Around to all parties involved...Show Proof you gave to the charities. This is why I do not give to any charity in any virtual world. I give directly to the charity
